Who the fuck is John Bolton to keep getting put into positions to get this country into war and our military killed? Trump was supposed to drain the swamp but now employs Bolton one of the biggest gators in it.

All of this is horseshit. Trump bailed on the Iran deal for no reason other than to start this war. Iran was in compliance.

Right, sure. You're not saying the ships weren't attacked, just that this was a setup for those poor misunderstood people over in Iran because Trump has been itching to go to war. Even though Trump has easily been one of the least warlike presidents we've had since...shit...I don't even know.

So Trump or whoever controls him pulled out of the Iran deal in the hopes that a year later Iran would fire on a couple of Japanese tankers and a US drone?

I swear Back is just hooked up to The Washington Post 24/7 because this is basically what one of their articles alleged.

It went something like:

Trump was a meanie head and pulled out of the Iran deal.
Iran did something in retaliation (I think they attacked a ship before this as well).
Trump didn't learn the lesson Iran was teaching him and went ahead and placed more sanctions on Iran.
Iran justifiably attacked two more ships because Trump is a meanie head.

Excuse me if I'm a skeptical of anything presented as evidence to get us into war (yellow cake, aluminum tubes, WMDs) especially when Bolton is involved. This incident to me does not even come close to needing to form a "coalition" against Iran.
